DETROIT, MI - Organizers of an effort to bring a Robocop statue to this city still appear serious about the endeavor, and they posted new pictures Tuesday night on a Kickstarter page that have generated plenty of buzz.

The website includes these pictures of Robo's hands and a calf piece that, according to the site, are headed to Wyndel, British Columbia-based Across the Board Creations for "3D scanning, enlarging, and milling from foam."

A timetable for completion of the statue and location for it in Detroit hasn't been set yet.

Jerry Paffendorf, a resident of Detroit's Corktown neighborhood, has helped spearhead the project and told Mlive Detroit via Facebook that construction of Robo's parts is a huge step in the right direction.

"We're just trying to get the job done really right," Paffendorf wrote.

The Robocop Kickstarter page mentions that this project has raised $67,437 from 2,718 project backers.

Online fundraising for Robocop is currently closed, but Paffendorf said another fundraiser "for longevity" of the statue, development of its pieces and installation, could open in the near future.

Since the Robocop statue has generated so much enthusiasm and opinions from Metro Detroit and beyond, you can bet that Mlive Detroit will stay on top of this story and give you updates as they come.
